Evaluate the extent to which state systems in the Americas were similar in their attempts to expand and maintain power in the period ca. 1200-1450.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

During the period of 1200 to 1450 in the Americas, state systems were similar in their attempts to expand and maintain power to exert power, dominion, and control over other states. The most powerful armies invaded other territories and captured enemies that were forced to servants or were killed.

Two important cultures dominated the Americas from 250 to far away from 1450, until 1550. We are talking about the Aztec civilization and the Maya civilization. The Mayas settled in the Yucatan peninsula of México and some territories of Guatemala and Belize. They collapsed by the 900s.

The Aztec Empire settled in the Texcoco Lake to found the great city of Tenochtitlan(modern-day downtown Mexico City).

In South America, the Inca Empire ruled over most of the Andean lands, until the Spanish conquerors arrived.
